Midelney Manor

The manor house stands on a former island location with a late 16th-century construction featuring two distinct architectural sections and an 18th-century falcon mews.

Following the dissolution of the monasteries, the Trevillian family acquired the estate from Muchelney Abbey and built the current structure, incorporating fragments of earlier medieval buildings.

The manor represents the architectural evolution of English country houses, combining elements from multiple periods while maintaining its original Tudor-era structural integrity.

Located at coordinates 51°00′08″N 2°50′31″W, the manor provides visitors with access to both the main building and surrounding historical grounds in South Somerset.

The property contains an 18th-century falcon mews at its rear, indicating its historical connection to the traditional sport of falconry in English aristocratic life.
